Game Thread: Atlanta Falcons @ Denver Broncos

[LGM]

At the risk of getting banned from the thread.....gotta say I think the Falcons win this one.

That last colonoscopy tickled your brain stem didn't it?

I just poop in a box and mail it. Sometimes to Cologuard, sometimes to various board members.

It's a literal Crap shoot!

LOL.

2 game losing streak and lost 3 of the last 5.

I just like the Falcons to win this one on the road with the way Captain Kirk is playing.

Get your Colonscopy, @rmilia1 if you haven't had one yet.

I just turned 53 and had my first in June.....I was overdue.

Had one last year! The prep was the worst

 

[rmilia1]

I remember in Feb of 2017 we had the ball . 3rd and 17. Just on the edge of long fg range to wrap up the SB

Ryan went back to pass and completed a ball to Sanu who gained like 10 yards to put is in easy fg range. In the process getting drug out of bounds by his facemask literally 2 feet from the judge

Flag is thrown! 1st down! We are gong to win the SB!

Just kidding

The guy 2 feet away from the obvious facemask stood there with his thumb up his butt as they called a hold on Matthews

Game over

That's how the refs help us win lol

It really was....

I think this game will tell us a lot about our future this year. If we win I see us 9 wins or 10. If we lose I don’t see us getting more than 8.

I think 9 wins could be enough to get into the playoffs if we have one of those wins be against the Colts. Them and Cincinnati seem to be our only competition for the last playoff spot and getting that tie breaker could be huge. Then have to hope the AFC North takes care of business with having such good teams to get Cincy to 8-9.

the loss to KC may prove too costly
tough last two games for DEN
i have a feeing KC may be fighting for HFA
winner of Denver cincy may be the #7 seed

Forgot about that Cincy game. I hate that we probably should be cheering for the Chargers tomorrow night. You are right that game in Cincy will be huge for us. Gives us essentially a 2-game lead over them and same thing with the Colts. I think if 2 of our wins are against those teams then probably can go 9-8 and still make the playoffs. If we lose the tie breaker though then uphill battle to get the spot and probably need 10 wins to get it done.

Since Amazon packages and porch pirates are at peak season right now, this might be a good time to remind everyone that putting dog poop (or any other poop you can find) into a package and leaving it by your front door as a little decoy to potential crooks is perfectly acceptable.

It very well could prove costly as every loss eventually proves costly. But let's not forget: in their house KC was certainly trying to win that game and it took a couple assists from the refs and a fluke play to seal the deal. I think this Broncos team can play with them, and in Denver the Chiefs won't have as great an advantage as they did in KC.

This Atlanta offense has some good players. If Cousins get hot, it will definitely challenge our defense. Bo Nix could have a good day, as the Falcons pass defense is not that good. Justin Simmons will be motivated to make an impact during his return to Mile High.

Both of these teams really need this win. I think it's going to be a back and forth battle. A shootout is a riskier proposition for the Broncos, in my opinion. Would be happy with a grind it out game of Estime, Williams and McLaughlin carrying the load.

 

[MileHigh64]

Good opening drive!

Gotta stop the run, though.

 

[Duffman]

Defense looking pretty shaky so far, I don‘t know how well we’d fair in a shootout type game.

 

[Duffman]

Let’s keep that momentum from the first drive going, three and out last drive is not where we wanna be.

 

[Duffman]

Good TD run JW. That’s what we need to see from him.

 

[Duffman]

Defense holding strong with another field goal. Let’s get another score before half.

Would love to see some more sacks though as Cousins is not mobile in the slightest

I’m 55. Still haven’t gotten violated…

 

[Duffman]

Gawd worst time for a sack there.

Edit: But damn, Nix made up for it with a beautiful TD to Mims.

 

[MileHigh64]

Bo Nix is ballin' out!
